Battery Systems Engineer

Battery Systems Engineer

Role Overview:

Our client, a global leader in energy storage and electrification technologies, is seeking a Battery Systems Engineer to design, integrate, and optimise battery energy storage systems (BESS) for grid, mobility, and industrial applications. This role is critical in advancing the performance, safety, and scalability of next-generation battery technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop battery systems including cell selection, pack architecture, and thermal management
• Integrate battery systems with power electronics, BMS, and control systems
• Conduct performance modeling, simulation, and validation testing of battery systems
• Support system integration for stationary storage, EV, or hybrid applications
• Ensure compliance with safety standards, certifications, and grid interconnection requirements
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and software engineers
• Analyse field data and support root cause analysis and continuous improvement

Essential Experience:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrochemistry, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• 3–7 years of experience in battery systems design, integration, or testing
• Strong understanding of lithium-ion battery chemistries, BMS architecture, and thermal management
• Proficiency in simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, ANSYS, COMSOL) and CAD software
• Familiarity with safety standards (e.g., UL 9540, IEC 62619, ISO 26262)

Desirable:

• Experience with grid-scale BESS, EV battery packs, or second-life battery applications
• Knowledge of battery degradation modeling, SoH/SoC algorithms, or V2G systems
• Certifications in battery safety, power systems, or energy storage integration
